Tensa Outdoor and the commercial packable tensahedron stand

So i am about to pull one of these because screw it why not... i have no good trees in my yard.....
But what are the main part differences between the webbing and amsteel version like what parts are different?

I started with the amsteel because that was all that was available. I later bought the webbing, which I prefer. The only difference is the webbing itself - that's all I had to buy to change mine over. I have found that the webbing doesn't slip, it keeps its length even when set up for several days. So I set up my stand and hammock and I relax until it is time to take it all down and pack it up. When I set up at the next location I generally find I can leave the webbing unchanged, it still has the same length from last time.

I've used my Tensa 4 for a few hundred hours of hanging (must be over 400 I think) and I've not actually needed my spare spring buttons (I have 4 of them). I have needed to change one of the feet though, it looked like the washer had cut through the rubber. I still have 4 spare spring buttons and 4 spare feet, once my new moulded feet arrive, I'll have 8 spare rubber feet.

Has anyone actually broken a spring button? I guess there is a worry that a pole could knock one out and then it could get lost. I mainly bought some spares because they are cheap and there is a delay for postage to get parts to New Zealand so it gives me peace of mind to have some spare bits on hand. Not every product you can buy in stores has parts available like the Tensa stand has, I prefer to deal with people like Latherdome that is working so hard to always give the best customer service possible. I'm always happy to recommend this stand to any motorcycle camper or car camper that wants to use a hammock anywhere or everywhere.

I have a spare spring thing and have never needed it
But I am from the camp where better to have and not need then need and not have...
I have terrible luck....

You will.love it
One is webbing like for hammock.suspension and the amstel is cordage like a whoopie sling
All.personal preference
The new strap he offers with the daisy chain seem like a no brainers for tie outs.....
I can see using amstel for the ridgeline as it's less intrusive to line of sight
I set my stand up in fields for meteor showers
But if your hammock has a structural ridgeline then the point is mute
Good luck

I have 4 pieces of webbing: Ridgeline, base line (controls the spread at the base), head end anchor and foot end anchor.
